“Forward Seasons”  by Chong Kang & Elizabeth Keithline 

Kang and Keithline paint contemporary abstract environments using color and composition to

mirror the joy, energy and movement of contemporary life. From the caves of Lascaux, to the

cathedrals of Rome to the post-war Abstract Expressionist movement, art is often created as a

reaction to the time in which it is made. Contemporary art continues to express current

circumstances—in this case, the noise and chaos of the 21st century.

Kang captures this expression through bright, sometimes neon color and graphic line. Keithline

uses pale colors and softer lines to express a need for serenity as a panacea for modern times.
